(A) 7 days
(B) 15.25 days

Each day (B) does 80/40 =2 units of work
Each day (C) does 80/80 =1 unit of work
In first three days total wok=4+4+4+2+1=15 units
For 15 days total work=15*5=75 units of work is one
On 16th day 4 units is done and on 17th day (1/4)th day
So total 16.25 days

(B) 22 years
(C) 21 years
(D) 29 years
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
Age of the captain=28 years
Age of the wicket keeper=32 years
let the sum of other 9 players =s
Therefore s/9 =((s+28+32)/11)-2
(s/9)=((s+60)/11) -2
s/9 =(s+38)/11
11s=9s+342
2s=342
s=171
Total sum of ages of team=171+60=231
Average=231/11
=21

Q. 58 A train can travel 50% faster than a car. Both start from point A at the same time and reach point B, 60 km away from point A, at the same time. On the way, however, the train lost about 12.5 min while stopping at the stations. The speed of the car is:
(A) 130 km/h
(B) 100 km/h
(C) 110 km/h
(D) 96 km/h
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Let the speed of the car =S
Then speed of the train =3S/2
They travel same distance and reach at the same point but due to stoppages train looses 12.5 minutes time taken for car to travel 60 km=60/S
Therefore (60/(3S/2))+12.5/60=(60/S)
40/S + 12.5/60=60/S
20/S=5/24
S=24*4
S=96 km/hr

x+5=9
x=4
Last three observations are 9,11 and 13
mean=33/3
=11

SP=1.2*5000
SP=Rs 6000

Let the salaries of ravi and sumit be 2x and 3x
salaries increased by 3000
new salaries are 2x+3000 an 3x+3000
ratio =7:10
(2x+3000)/(3x+3000)=7/10
20x+30000=21x+21000
x=9000
Sumit’s new salary=3(9000)+3000
=30000

Q. 66 A hall is 15 m long and 12 m broad.If the sum of the areas of the floor and the ceiling is equal to the sum of the areas of four walls, m3 the volume(in ) of the hall is:
(A) 1600
(B) 900
(C) 1200
(D) 720
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
Area of the floor and ceiling will be same and it is equal
i.e l*b=15*12=180 sq m
Area of four walls will be 2*l*h+2*b*h=2h(l+b)
2h(l+b)=360
h(12+15)=180
h=180/27
h=20/3
Volume=l*b*h=12*15*20/3
=1200 cubic meters
Q. 67 If a person had walked at the speed of 15 km/h instead of 10 km/h, he would have walked 25 km more. The actual distance travelled by him was:
(A) 70 km
(B) 56 km
(C) 50 km
(D) 80 km
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
In both the cases time taken ‘t’ is same.
Therefore 10t=15t-25
15t-10t=25
5t=25
t=5 hours
Initial speed was 10 km/hr
and so distance traveled=10*5
=50 km
Q. 68 Raman paid ₹13,300 as simple interest after 9 years. He had borrowed some money at the rate of 6% for first two years, same money at 9% for next three years and at 14% for rest of the period. How much money(in ₹) did he borrow?
(A) 10,000
(B) 14,000
(C) 12,500
(D) 12,000
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
We know I=PTR/100
let the money borrowed be ‘x’
then for first two years it is 6% so interest=0.12x
for next 3 years it is 9% so interest=0.27x
for next four years it is 14% so interest =0.56x
Total interest=0.12x+0.27x+0.56
=0.95x
therefore 0.95x=13300
x=13300/0.95
x=14000

25%=25*30600/20
=7650*5
=38250

In each case they leave the same remainder and so the HCF of differences between the numbers has to be taken Difference 1=95-47=48
Difference 2=187-47=140
Difference 1=187-95=92
HCF of 48,140 and 92
48=2*2*2*2*3
140=2*2*5*7
92=2*2*23
HCF=4
Q. 72 Raj got a new chair at 35% discount. Had Raj got no discount, Raj would have had to pay ₹238 more. How much did Raj pay for the chair?
(A) ₹452
